And now for the midge...

OK, not the sharpest picture ever, but this is a midge. One of those evil little buggers that swarm around with thousands of his mates and bit the crap out of any uncovered bit of skin. I'm blipping this one as I think seriously, this is as close as the macro lens I've got will ever be able to get. Tried it with tubes but never got anything as clear.

Added in the inlay of the tennis ball it was on so you can get an idea of the sense of scale.

VIEW IT BIG!
